Definitions
- the present invention concerns a procedure and an apparatus for improving the milking process.
- cows are mainly milked mechanically by means of a milking machine, the operation of which is based on vacuum.
- a so-called can machine which milks the milk into a milk can with 20 I capacity.
- the pipe milking machines, in which the milk is transferred by the aid of vacuum of the machinery directly into the farm tank are, however, becoming increasingly common.
- each teat in its own teat cup.
- a vacuum of about 0.5 atmospheres, whereby the sphincter of the teat chamber opens and the milk runs out.
- sucking and massage phases are repeated 50 ⁇ 60 times per minute.
- the operation of the milking machine affects the functional capability and health of the udder.
- the vacuum varies in the teat rubber during milking, which is a partial cause for the "teat ends being wetted" with milk; this occurrence may be a contributory factor spreading bovine mastitis.
- the milking machine may in part be responsible for mastitis in cows.
- the milk is pumped by means of teat rubber under admission of air into claws and from there to collecting tanks, wherein the air and the milk are collected and separated from each other. After finishing the continuous separation process the milk is pumped by means of the vacuum pump to a further collector and from there via a tube to an overhead milk pipe.
- the pumping of milk in a semicooled state which it has reached after that kind of separation . process, is harmful to its quality, especially to that of the fat globules of milk. Furthermore, the milk is transported with the aid of air, whereby milk and air are mingled up and the time required for the separation of the milk and the air in the collector tanks is increased; the milk must ascend prior to the pumping, too, and that results in an undesired segregation within the milk.
- the invention realizes the possibility to bring the collector tank "close to the cow", i.e., the claw 2 serves as an air separation space from which a pump such as, for example, a piston pump or a diaphragm pump, carries the milk further, either to a conventional collector tank or to a farm tank. This means that no air flow at all is used in the transporting of the milk.
- a pump such as, for example, a piston pump or a diaphragm pump
- the design of the invention is suitable for use as an ancillary to the already existing milking machines on farms.
- the design according to the invention also makes it possible to arrange the precooling of milk, because the milk flows at a uniform rate. Moreover, by means of the design according to the invention it is also possible to measure the milk quantity that has been milked and to take a sample, if needed.
- the float 18 has been so constructed that it also closes a mouth of an air pipe which connects the top 21 of the claw 2 and the vacuum pipe 3, if for one reason or another the milk level rises too high.
- the weight of the float 18 causes it to come off the mouth immediately when the milk level falls.
- the separate removal of the milk via the lower way is made possible by a piston pump 6 governed by a pulsator 5 and utilizing the vacuum prevailing in the vacuum pipe 3, which is part of the milking apparatus 1.
- the pump 6 is connected to a dual suction tube 20 of the apparatus 1, in parallel with the pulsation chambers (not depicted).
- the operation of the pump 6 at the top 21 of the claw 2 is rendered possible by a difference area 10 between an air surface 8 and a milk surface 9 of a milk-sucking piston 7.
- the pushing force which the pump 6 is required to produce is in turn produced by carrying the vacuum, by the aid of the pulsator 5, to the difference area or collar 10 remaining below the air surface 8.
- a vacuum pump generates a vacuum which can be used to supply work.
- the milk is in similar way under a vacuum of equal magnitude in the claw 2.
- the pump 6 (a differential pump) enables the milk to be drawn into normal pressure, using for pushing force a vacuum of equal magnitude, whereby the milk surface 8, respectively the air surface 9 of the piston 7, being of different size, make the operation of the piston 7 possible.
- the pushing force of the pump 6 is needed to push the milk via a milk tube 11 into an overhead milk pipe 12, where normal pressure has to prevail, in contrast to a conventional milking machine.
- the milk milked by utilizing the apparatus 1 is conducted in normal manner from the teats through teat rubbers 16 under vacuum to the claw 2.
- the pump 6 draws during the initial part of the dual beat of the pulsator 5 milk which is present in the claw 2; hereby, the milk passes along the suction pipe 4 through a valve 14 into a milk chamber 17 of the pump 6.
- the suction of the pump 6 persists until the float 18 reaches the bottom of the claw 2, whereby the milk flow ceases.
- the piston 7 pushes the milk through a valve 15 via the milk tube 11 into the milk pipe 12, which slopes towards the farm tank (not depicted), and the milk runs into the farm tank by gravity action.
- the milk pump 6 has been installed in immediate adjacency of the claw 2.
- the size and weight of the pump 6 may occasionally restrict a design of this type, and it is then possible to apply an embodiment in which the pump 6 has been disposed at the lower end of a pipe 13, hanging down from the vacuum pipe 3, together with the pulsator 5 belonging to the milking apparatus 1 (as has been imagined to be done in the design of the figure).
- the claw 2 may be so dimensioned that it is usable even for milking cows more sensitive to milking.
- the prototype has been dimensioned for a milk output of about 5 I/min when the beat rate of the pulsator 5 is 50 dual beats per minute.
- the capacity of the pump 6, again, is dependent on the beat rate of the pulsator 5. It is true, though, that the beat rate of the pulsator 5 also effects the milking capacity (in 1/min).
- the apparatus 1 allows continuous easy measurement and sampling of the milk quantity that has been milked.
- a separate measuring apparatus is required, which is hung between the milking unit and the milk pipe.
- the apparatus takes a proportional sample from the milk pipe in order to measure the milk quantity (quantitative sample).
- the pump 6 pumps milk only, and since the volume of the cylinder is known, a pick-up may be installed on the side of the pump 6 to measure the length of the suction travel (or of the compression travel) of the piston 7, whereby the exact milk quantity can be determined.
- equipment provided with the apparatus 1 treats the milk more gently than any apparatus of prior art, because the pump 6 causes the pump strain acting on the milk immediately after the milking when the milk has not had time to cool essentially and likewise crystallization of the fat has not yet come under way.
- a collector tank is no longer indispensable, even though it may be necessary for cleaning or other reasons.
- the ancillary pump 6 saves the costs arising from a milk pump, since it operates on the same vacuum as the rest of the milking machine. In all likelihood the vacuum level in the vacuum system is lowered and otherwise the power requirement is reduced, because lifting of the milk to the milk pipe 12 and its further transporting is not accomplished with the aid of air flow.
- the ancillary pump 6 may be used in almost any milking machine with overhead milk pipe in current use in Finland.
